River Concert: Vasili Kasatkin
August 15 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
As the sun sets over the Mississippi River, the park comes alive with music, food and community. Inspired by the international sound of Vasili Kasatkin, this summer event blends cinematic violin, electronic rhythms, and live performance into a vibrant outdoor festival atmosphere. Guests can relax on the lawn, enjoy sunset views, and experience great local food from favorites like Griddle on the Go. With immersive sound and the scenic riverfront as its backdrop, the evening offers an unforgettable experience for families, friends, couples and music lovers alike. More than a concert, it’s a celebration of music, culture and connection by the river. All ages welcome. Free.
The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.
We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
